MARGOT ROBBIE ON MOVIE ROLE
She dons a red wig, prosthetics and white face paint to play Queen Elizabeth
the First, cousin of Queen Mary Stuart, in the new biopic Mary Queen of Scots.
And it seems Margot Robbie’s transformation to get into the character proved incredibly challenging for the acclaimed actress.
Speaking on the Today show on Friday, Margot, 28, said: ‘I could barely move my face because there was so much prosthetics. It’s glued-down plastic on your face.’
The blonde beauty added that the period costume presented its own difficulties - but it helped her get into character.
The clothes were very restrictive, as they were at the time. It helped - I felt claustrophobic, I felt trapped,’ Margot said.
‘But kind of upholding this image the whole time, which is kind of what she [Elizabeth] did. She kind of created an image and then was imprisoned by it.’
